Doyle;
The linearity of computing processing is a hurdle to surpass.  There
has been a long time problem in 'writing' applications to parallel
processing.  Your allusion has merits.

Multi-core processors are meant to speed up the processors speeds (from
giga flops to terra or peta flops per second) so that difficult
visualization projects can be done in real time.  Intel demonstrated
their prototype of such a chip by illustrating it's power to render
live motion without the usual need to put some reference dots on a
figure that moves.

I don't see that writing applications for such processing engines will
long be neglected.  Too much commercial business interest lies in such
communications devices.

I've written before this a left milieu of connection for society
processes.  The end of privacy as we know it means a society of
connection we don't know.
